Diagnosed with DV 4 yrs. ago.with routine colonoscopy.
always suffered with constipation.I also suffer with seriously bad wind which is very embarrassing. Now over the past 2/3 years am now getting diahorea frequently, no warning but just have to rush to the loo urgently.going as many as 7 times in a couple of hours I have very little pain, when going to the loo yes I get a stomach ache.
Have been prescribed Codine Phosphate but I don't like taking it continuously., after the bout I feel fine, but I'm finding these sudden onsets worrying as I don't get any warnings. I play golf so am always praying It doesn't happen on one of those days.
have just done two days days on apple juice nothing else, and today made a smoothie of Apple ginger carrot celery and sunflower seeds but crushed then first. These bout are happening now every ten days. Inbetween I'm fine. Any ideas what I should do apart from not eat?

i will try Fybrgel but thought that would be too much fibre.
I love the granary breads so does that mean a no no from now on?
thank you for your suggestions will give it a try.

Too many smooties etc, liquid diet can also cause loose stools. Better to eat a balanced diet and use metemucil on a daily basis to regulate and move your stools once you know you are not in a flare.
As for golf, I hope you can keep enjoying it, but I have not been able to plan or particpate in organized activities at all now that I have had diverticulities for 7 years. Easting out is a problem as well, as sometimes as soon as the food, no matter how carefully choosen can almost instantly trigger the need for the bathroom and this can be quite distressing in a public washroom for health and personal reasons.
Hope this helps and you get into remission soon.

Thank you for your advice will try the metemucil. I have left off the liquid diet and am really checking what I eat eg no skins on fruits nuts are a no no which I love as granary bread. I hope this will relieve the bowel of the irritation.
Thank you for you advice.
Toni
